POW! It's the great Frank Gorshin as The RIDDLER, from the far-famed BATMAN 1966 TV series! Here's the classic Batman foe, as portrayed by the wonderfully manic actor, boldly embodied in this well-scultped, fan-made "garage kit!" This resin kit was painted up in acrylics and enamels! Click images below to enlarge!

Above: I painted the figure's costume using flat greens, with added glosses for the shoes and belt..

I purposely attached the lower arms to appear slightly flexed outward, adding to the maniacal look of the pose!

I also added gloss touches to the hair, teeth, mouth, and eyes! I detailed some smaller areas with marker....

All the question marks? Done with paint marker, including the tiny ones along the sides of the costume! The mask was made with bristol board! I loved the look of it draped around the neck..

BONUS! Click below to enlarge this pic of the unassembled kit! Note the original pose, with arms reaching for the neck and mask!
